In prevention or to support hypertension, you need a blood pressure monitor to regularly monitor your blood pressure. To be placed on the arm or on the wrist, here is a selection of manual and connected tensiometers.
The blood pressure monitor is a device to measure blood pressure. Previously, it was necessary to go to the doctor to know his tension, because he alone knew how to use this device. But today, it is possible to measure your pressure at home, using consumer models. Surveillance of daily tension is a good way to detect pathologies such as high blood pressure. The patient can thus note the evolution of his tension day after day to allow the doctor to make a more precise diagnosis.
To choose a blood pressure monitor, first check that accuracy has been validated by Afssaps (French health safety agency for health products) and/or include BHS (British hypertension Society) or ESH (European hypertension Society). Most of the self -modeters are electronic. Easy to use, the electronic tensiometer is automatic. The user has only to pass the device around his arm or his wrist and press a simple button to start the measurement. Once the measurement is complete, the voltage is displayed on the digital screen.
Among the electronic surfers, we distinguish the models on the wrist and the models with the arm. The wrist models are small and easy to transport. The blood pressure surfers are larger and more difficult to adjust, but they provide a more precise measure. A tensiometer generally includes the detection of irregular cardiac beats. Some models alert you when they are poorly positioned so that the results are not distorted.
If you plan to use the device on several people, check that it is suitable for sharing (with separate memories).
